BibTeX files from online sources
================================
I am not a scientists. Not for a long time. But from time to time I
need to write an article with some references. Thus I need to use
something like the BibTeX. And I have been thinking that a possibility
to download the pre-generated BibTeX files from major (commercial)
services like the Scopus or the ScienceDirect is a great help.
Well, it is but there are sometimes minor issues:
- inconsistent author names, sometimes there is a full first name and
sometimes there is just the first letter,
- to checking of data: if there is the ampersand (&) symbol then it is
left as is (which confuses the TeX itself of course). For example, I
have no idea why the "Computers and Structures" journal prefers the
form "Computers & Structures". People also use this strange character
inside article names.
